Stargazers are in for a treat as the Geminid Meteor shower will light up the sky today

A unique astronomical event will delight stargazers. On Thursday, December 14, keep your eyes up high as the sky will be illuminated by the Geminid meteor shower.

While most meteor showers are caused by comets, the Geminid meteor shower is caused by an asteroid and has a blue appearance.

The Geminids are one of the greatest and most consistent yearly meteor showers, and they are certain to be a spectacular sight, according to NASA.

The UAE is a fantastic location to see the night sky because it is located in the northern hemisphere.

As long as there is darkness and a clear sky, you should be able to watch the meteor shower.

Moreover, you may gaze in any direction as meteors are typically visible over the whole sky.

If you need more, an event is being held at the Mleiha Archaeological Centre in Sharjah. All you have to do is reserve a ticket by phoning 06 802 1111; it costs Dhs 275 per adult and Dhs 200 per kid, and it will run from 6 p.m. till the wee hours of Friday, December 15.
